Aanpak eenzaamheid bij ouderen volgens deskundigen niet efficiënt

De door de overheid gefinancierde programma's om eenzaamheid onder ouderen te bestrijden werken niet. Twee hoogleraren en een ouderenarts pleiten in NRC voor een andere aanpak.
8 procent van de Nederlanders is volgens onderzoek structureel eenzaam, een groot deel van die groep is oudere. In 2013 werd volgens NRC bijna een miljoen euro uitgegeven aan een programma om dit probleem tegen te gaan en wordt er jaarlijks 150.000 euro besteed aan een samenwerking van zorg- en welzijnsorganisaties.

In verschillende gemeenten kunnen eenzame mensen bellen met een meldpunt, of gaan er vrijwilligers langs de deur. Volgens hoogleraar sociologie Jenny Gierveld werkt dit niet.

"De karakteristiek van mensen die zich eenzaam voelen is juist dat ze zich terugtrekken. Dan ga je echt niet de telefoon pakken om te vertellen dat je eenzaam bent. Zulke initiatieven werken vaak zelfs averechts."

Verkeerd idee
De initiatieven gaan volgens de drie deskundigen uit van een verkeerd idee. Hoogleraar ouderengeneeskunde Joris Slaets zegt in de krant dat georganiseerd, professioneel contact eenzaamheid niet kan tegengaan. "Het heeft een heel andere emotionele connotatie dan een persoonsrelatie. Alleen een echte, liefdevolle relatie met een naaste neemt eenzaamheid weg.”

Volgens de deskundigen is een "convooi" van mensen nodig om de eenzaamheid tegen te gaan. "Familieleden, vrienden, maar ook mensen om alleen gezellig koffie mee te drinken.



'Weinig sociaal contact kan mogelijk hartproblemen veroorzaken'

Het hebben van weinig vrienden zou mogelijk dezelfde problemen aan bloedvaten en het hart kunnen veroorzaken als roken. Onderzoekers ontdekten verhoogde levels fibrinogeen, een proteïne belanrijk voor het stollen van het bloed, bij mensen met weinig sociale contacten.
Wetenschappers van de universiteit van Harvard deden onderzoek naar het effect van vriendschappen op bloedlevels. Daarbij vergeleken ze de bloedwaarden van 3.500 vrouwen en mannen met zelf ingevulde gegevens over het aantal vrienden.

De deelnemers vertelden tussen de twee en 32 echte vrienden te hebben. Gemiddeld hadden de deelnemers zo'n tien vrienden. Uit analyses van de bloedwaarden bleek dat hoe minder vrienden iemand had, hoe hoger het fibrinogeenlevel.

Meer onderzoek
Mensen met vijf mensen binnen hun sociale netwerk hadden 20 procent hogere fibrinogeenlevels dan mensen met 25 vrienden binnen hun netwerk.

"Het hebben van sociale contacten heeft een duidelijke link met het fibrinogeenlevel", aldus dokter David Kim in gesprek met Telegraph. "Als dit echt significant is moet er overwogen worden nieuwe maatregelen te treffen bij hartproblemen."

De onderzoekers maken niet duidelijk of ze voor het onderzoek ook rekening hebben gehouden met andere factoren die het fibrinogeenlevel kunnen aantasten. Zij wijzen er op dat meer onderzoek nodig is om echt een conclusie te kunnen trekken.
